Sultanah is bewitched by 'dem heartbreakers ❥ asked Rose B. Mashal:

Hi there. Big Big Fan. To be honest I must confess I thought the book was going to be so cliche considering the topic but I was really impressed. I'm just curious though, what inspired you to write a story about a Muslim prince and a Christian woman ove coming adversity ? :) (FYI I'm dying to read book 2 !!!!!)

Rose B. Mashal Hi to you!
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Well, I really love writing stories about forbidden love, when the hero and heroine could never be together, not easily anyway.
I love the struggle, etc.
In fact, Black Keys was originally about a Muslim girl falling for a Christian man. It was to be Janna and Joseph's story. A story that I plotted almost seven years ago. But then, I found that Marie and Mazen had louder voices and I couldn't wait to have their story written.

So, their story was born from Joseph and Janna's.

I'm still going to have the siblings tell their story as well, this is a part of the reasons why I'm not going in so many details about Joseph and Janna in the trilogy, they'll have their own book later. :)

Thank you for reading. <3
